The biggest lottery jackpots ever
These are the record jackpots for each lottery we cover — the single largest amount each has ever reached. US games like Powerball and Mega Millions produce the largest headline sums because they roll over with no cap; European games such as EuroMillions and Eurojackpot have jackpot caps that limit how high they climb. Open any lottery for its full record table and the date each mark was set.
